I guess it's a black bird , but who knows maybe some other inteligent life form spying on them (It would be great advertisment if people would see special things into it , so no it's definitely not a bird )

It's a shadow. If you single step through the video, you can see it only shows up on the rocket, the lift arm and the building. There are several other instances in the video that aren't quite as obvious as that one.

Wow, a monster size Insect . I never been to Texas. Are there any black gaint insect in Texas?

By the way Insect behavior. Why would insect appoarch LOX gas?

Funny... Insect have sensors. Boy, that insect must be dumb as bird and other insects. I can't see 0:05 as insect. It looks like one of those radio control military spy-ufos. I have see mini-bug at MIT.

lol, if it was a fly, very near to the camera's eye, you wouldn't be able to tell if it's a large bird more on distance or a small fly nearby.
And a fly on near distance would seem to move very fast, if it was a large thing on larger distance

All my lenses need to be thrown out, because at one point (or at many points.... grr… ) they have been possessed by these demonic alien insects! Wait, there's more. When I scan my negatives with my supernaturally sensitive HP scanner, I notice that there are countless white psionic snakes all over my images. In some cases, they take upwards of 1/8th of a frame, which corresponds to about 20 feet long within the focal range I was using. Those are big bad brain-draining bugs!

There, now that I have a great excuse for all those ruined photos, I can move on with my life. I wonder if that black blob was simply a dust/dirt artefact on analog magnetic video tape? I'd imagine that John would be using digital, though.

Splinter, it seems that the unfortunate case is that these UFO and government spies have afforded you entirely too much free time. I've seen this kind of 'poor-quality' (no offence John ) footage countless times, and every time they're avoidable by either using higher quality CCD cameras with better/newer storage media or keeping bugs away from the optics. (which, of course, wasn’t a realistic concern for this footage)

<btw, if the bugs have these great omnisensitive sensors to detect 'bad stuff', why would the UFO/government spies not also have sensors to detect the stuff and stay far, far away? They obviously already know about the project and its hazards, given armadillo's great transparent publicity record>
